Twitter security breach: Reset your password

Official twitter account tweeting spam deals Thursday

Twitter sent emails to many of its users Thursday asking them to reset their passwords due to a possible security breach.

The official Twitter account began tweeting spam links that read: "$250 tweet".

"Twitter believes that your account may have been compromised by a website or service not associated with Twitter," the e-mail says. "We've reset your password to prevent others from accessing your account."
